On Tuesday, McGuire allegedly showed the females his underwear and followed two of them to their residence. Both of the girls are 11-years-old and were “frightened” that McGuire allegedly showed them his underwear then proceeded to follow them to their residence. The underwear was described as being pink with yellow stars and pink hearts.

The girls say McGuire was walking in front of them on Lincoln Street and was pretending to scratch himself. In doing so, his shorts came down and exposed his underwear to the girls. The affidavit says the girls felt that, by the way he was scratching himself, he was scratching as a reason to show his underwear to them. The girls laughed at the pink underwear and McGuire turned around and asked if they were laughing at his underwear.

On Wednesday, Essex police received a phone call from the complainant that a male showed his underwear to the girls. When police arrived, McGuire was in the parking lot in front of New England Federal Credit Union Bank. When McGuire was asked if he had shown the girls his underwear or had followed them he advised he did not. This time, the underwear was described as being purple. The juveniles also said McGuire may have described the underwear as being “panties.”

According to the girls, McGuire had recognized them on Wednesday and stated, “I have purple ones on now” and then proceeded to show them his underwear again. One of the females observed his underwear and the other did not look this time. McGuire then followed the females until the Grove Street intersection where he turned left.

One of the females called the complainant to pick her up because she didn’t want to walk home. The three other juveniles advised their parents they had witnessed the same events.

McGuire has been implicated in two other incidents that involved him showing his underwear to juvenile females. The first recorded incident was on July 17, 2012, and the second incident occurred on Sept. 5th, 2013. In both incidents, the underwear were described as being pink.
